TerraMaster Disk Array Devices Cost-Effective Capacity Storage Solution Vs. High SSD/HDD Rising Prices

TerraMaster Technology Co. Ltd. presents a cost-effective high-capacity storage solution with regard to the rising prices of HDDs and SSDs.

The company is focused on NAS and also offer a product line of high-capacity USB disk array storage devices and high-capacity Thunderbolt 3 disk array storage. Disk array storage devices offer a cost-effective solution when high-capacity HDDs and SSDs are too costly or out of reach.

The widespread application of cloud computing brought by the development of 5G, AI, IoT, and other data-centric systems has increased the demand for high-capacity storage technology. Furthermore, the boom of Chia Coin (XCH) mining has increased the volume of demand for high-capacity HDDs and SSDs pushing prices higher. With the skyrocketing prices and looming shortage of high-capacity HDDs/SSDs, the firm’s solutions below can help save cost while creating a robust and feature-packed high-capacity storage for a variety of applications.

Solution 1: Using USB multi-HDD array cabinets
Today, the prices of HDDs models above 8TB capacity are inflated. The company‘s USB multi-HDD array solutions offer cost-effective solutions for building high-capacity storage. At present, a typical 16TB NAS HDD sells around $700 or higher in regions heavily affected by Chia Coin mining. Meanwhile, a typical 4TB NAS HDD can be bought for around $80. Using the firm’s D5-300 which is available for $269, building a 20TB USB 3.1 array storage costs $689, cheaper than getting a single 16TB NAS HDD.

For more storage capacity, multiple company’s USB arrays can be connected to a USB hub. Using the RAID-0 function, multiple USB arrays can createstorage of 100 to 200TB.

Solution 2: Using Thunderbolt 3 array cabinets
With the firm’s Thunderbolt 3 series disk array storage devices, you can create faster high-capacity storage in daisy chain. Compared to USB protocol, Thunderbolt 3 offers faster speeds and higher efficiency in a simpler connection. Thunderbolt 3 ports deliver transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s, superior to USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 protocols that are commonly used today. Furthermore, the hardware RAID controller-supported multiple disk array guarantees stable and reliable high-speed connection.

Thunderbolt 3 allows users to daisy chain up to 6 Thunderbolt 3 storage devices. Using an 8-bay disk array storage device like the firm’s D8 Thunderbolt 3, using 16TB HDDs can yield up to 128TB of storage. To daisy chain 6 of the same configuration will deliver 768TB of storage.

The firm disk array storage devices offer cost-effect capacity storage solutions with the use of lower capacity HDDs. The solutions aim to help builders lower costs when high-capacity HDD models become more expensive.
